Comparison review
Google Nexus 6P is just a bit better than the Xiaomi Mi 5s, having a score of 80.3 against 76.4. The Google Nexus 6P design is a bit thinner than the Xiaomi Mi 5s, although it is somewhat heavier and was released just 11 months before. The Xiaomi Mi 5s has a slightly better looking screen than Google Nexus 6P, although it has a way worse resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels, a quite smaller screen and a little bit lower screen pixel density.
Google Nexus 6P features a little better processing power than Xiaomi Mi 5s, because although it has a lower amount of RAM, it also counts with 4 more CPU cores (although slower). The Google Nexus 6P counts with a bit better camera than Xiaomi Mi 5s, and although they both have the same video frame rates, the same 3840x2160 (4K) video resolution, a F2 diafragm aperture and a 0.43 inches back-facing camera sensor, the Google Nexus 6P also has a more MP camera.
Google Nexus 6P has as much memory for applications, games, photos and videos as Xiaomi Mi 5s, both have exactly the same 128 GB internal memory. Google Nexus 6P features just a bit longer battery life than Xiaomi Mi 5s, because it has 3450mAh of battery capacity.
Although Google Nexus 6P is a better device, it costs a lot more than the Xiaomi Mi 5s, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as Xiaomi Mi 5s. If you prefer to save some dollars, you can buy the Xiaomi Mi 5s, giving up a few specs and features, but you will get the most out of your budget.
